Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

Although Concubine Hui didn't want to come forward, it didn't mean that Xia Ziling's trip was in vain. He at least got a very useful piece of news from Concubine Hui——Zhu Yunqi is still alive now, and even became the grandson of the emperor. All thanks to Zhu Chun.

Zhu Yunqi, after Zhu Dijing was unable to raise troops, was able to issue a military order not to hurt the life of King Yan. Xia Ziling believed that no matter how history changed, Zhu Yunqi still had a benevolent nature.Furthermore, in the official history, after Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne, he immediately attacked many uncle kings, or found fault and called him under house arrest in Beijing, or exiled to the frontier, or cut off his guards. Only Zhu Chun, he has never acted.

Zhu Yunwen's tolerance for Zhu Chun, Xia Ziling's intuition may be due to his sympathy for this eleventh uncle who is good at dancing and writing. After all, Zhu Yunwen's respect for literati is well-known in history.

Therefore, Xia Ziling and Mu Sheng agreed on a plan, and Zhu Gui and Mu Sheng entered the palace together to persuade Zhu Yunqi to intercede for Zhu Chun in front of Emperor Hongwu.To convince Zhu Yunqi, it is natural to have a perfect rhetoric. Xia Ziling thought hard about this, and made up a rhetoric before the two entered the palace——

Lan Yu intends to rebel and usurp the throne by assassinating Emperor Hongwu and Zhu Yunwen, the appointed crown prince candidate. Zhu Gui accidentally learns of Lan Yu's plan, and discusses with Zhu Chun pretending to be ignorant, secretly cooperating with Lan Yu's party, and only rescues Zhu Yunqi at a critical moment.

If this set of rhetoric is used to deceive Emperor Hongwu, it will never succeed.But fortunately, Zhu Yunqi has always received the orthodox education of the royal family, and his mind is not deep. He deeply believes in the goodness of human nature, and he should believe that Uncle Eleven, who saved his life in the end, has no malice towards him.

In Xia Ziling's remarks, the only person who was sorry was Lan Yu, but Lan Yu... Since he decided to take this path, he was doomed not to end well. I hope things don't have to be like the Lan Yu case in the official history, where the Lan family punished the nine clans. Not to mention, so many people were involved.The only Lan family member who was not killed——Lan Yan, but Hong Wudi peeled off Lan Yu’s human skin and sent it to Shu Palace, where it was hung in Lan Yan’s room. Poor Lan Yan faced her father’s human skin every day and was tortured to death He suffered a nervous breakdown and died a year later.

Not to mention whether Zhu Yunwen has made any progress, the eyeliner arranged in Jinyiwei soon received the news that surprised Xia Ziling but expected it——Lanyu confessed in the imperial prison that he wanted to assassinate Emperor Hongwu and the empress dowager Sun Yu coerced the king of Shu to become the puppet emperor, and by canonizing the crown prince, Emperor Hongwu and Zhu Yunqi set up a conspiracy when they left the palace. This matter was all planned by him alone and had no accomplices.

As expected, Lan Yu bore all the guilt alone, and his confession coincided with what Xia Ziling made up.

Xu said that when Xia Ziling met Lan Yu, Lan Yu was already over the age of [-], and the heroic arrogance of being a single man on the battlefield in the early years no longer existed, and was replaced by calmness, and in this calmness, Xia Ziling And always feel that there is a faint melancholy hidden, this seemingly powerful person may not be as happy as he appears on the surface.

If Xia Ziling guessed right about Lan Yu's picture, perhaps with such a vigorous death, Lan Yu could gain the important position in someone's heart that he had pursued all his life.

On the day Lan Yu confessed, Emperor Hong Wu went to Qianxi Palace in the evening.The last time he stepped here was almost at the same time, visiting the same person.It is this person who makes him unable to let go no matter what, no matter what he does, he cannot be blamed.

Now that it's winter, Ganxi Palace is not as hot as it is in summer.Standing at the door of the main house, Emperor Hongwu looked at the woman kneeling on the mat and counting prayer beads in the house, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.After a long time, he sighed and walked over.

"Cui'e, do you hate me? If you don't hand over the country to Chun'er, it's so hard for you to accept?"

Emperor Hongwu didn't use the title "Zhen", and his tone even showed some sadness. The betrayal of his favorite woman must have made him heartbroken.

However, Emperor Hongwu's show of weakness did not get Concubine Hui's compromise. Concubine Hui didn't even raise her head, and continued to kneel on the ground, saying: "Your maidservant is guilty, how dare you speak hatred."

She actually called herself a "servant"?Emperor Hongwu felt even more sour.But when I think about it carefully, I have neglected her for 16 years, and even did not make any compensation afterwards. It is understandable for Concubine Hui to blame herself.

Emperor Hongwu sighed, and said: "Yun Wen came to me to intercede, saying that if Chun'er and Gui'er hadn't helped each other, he would not be able to see me now, and begged me to be lenient and let Chun'er go. Cui'e , don't you think that Chun'er herself might not want to be the emperor?"

"The slaves don't understand Chun'er, just like the emperor doesn't understand slaves." The play she planned was finally smashed by Chun'er, which is really a great irony.

"Cui'e..." Emperor Hong Wu felt that he had spent all his patience on this woman in front of him, but unfortunately he still couldn't impress her at all, "Forget it, Lan Yu has confessed in the imperial prison today, and he planned it all by himself. The rebellion has nothing to do with others, I decided to put him to death by Ling Chi, and then punish the Nine Clans, what do you think?"

These words made Concubine Hui's expression finally change, she clenched her fists secretly, and said: "The emperor has appointed a new crown prince, so is he going to kill?"

Emperor Hongwu smiled, "Yun Wen also said that he had just been canonized as the grandson of the emperor. If he killed too many people to establish the crown prince, it would hurt his peace, and he would be panicked. Yun Wen is really a good boy, isn't he?"

Concubine Hui said disdainfully: "Yun Wen is indeed a good boy, but does this guarantee that he will be a good emperor in the future?"

"I will remove all obstacles for Yun Wen and give him a thornless scepter."

Concubine Hui smiled, but this time she didn't say anything.What will happen to Zhu Yunqi in the future, she thinks she has no chance to see the end.

Emperor Hongwu sighed again, "That's it, Chun'er, I will let him go back to Shu. I am very pleased that he did not betray me in the end. As for Lanyu... since Yunwen has done it for him If you beg for mercy, you will be sentenced to death."

Concubine Hui bowed her head and said, "Everything is up to the emperor."

Emperor Hongwu looked at Concubine Hui's back, was silent for a moment, and left without saying anything.He didn't mention letting Cui'e move back to Changyang Palace this time. Even though he loves Cui'e, as the king of a country, he still has his own bottom line. The mistake Cui'e made this time has stepped on his bottom line, so...he will empty her She is in Changyang Palace, but she will not be allowed to go back in this life.

Thanks to Zhu Yunqi's appearance, the Lanyu case did not involve tens of thousands of people like in the official history, and became a major tragedy in Hongwu.Lan Yu's judgment was very fast, and Emperor Hongwu issued an edict the next day, and three days later, Lan Yu was publicly beheaded for public display.Emperor Hongwu was so eager to dispose of Lan Yu, which just showed that he didn't want to involve too much, and it was a good thing for the rest of the people.

After the news spread, Concubine Hui immediately ordered her confidant maid to leave the palace, and asked Zhu Gui to wait for the opportunity to take her into the imperial prison to meet Lan Yu.

At that time, Sapphire was resting in prison with his eyes closed. He had already been mentally prepared for death, but there was still a trace of delusion in his heart.

The maid dressed in disguise handed Lan Yu a gift from Concubine Hui, Lan Yu looked down, and the seven-foot man almost burst into tears.

Lying quietly in his hand is a small and exquisite dagger with a small seal script "blue" engraved on the body. This dagger was given to Concubine Hui by Sapphire many years ago. keep it.Sapphire looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar object, and her thoughts drifted back to many years ago——

It was not too early for him to go to Zhu Yuanzhang with Chang Yuchun. In the 15th year of Yuan Zhizheng, when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Hezhou, Chang Yuchun led him to go to defect.At that time, Cui'e had already married Zhu Yuanzhang.At that time, Sapphire was just when the hero was young and full of vigor. He never thought that he would be trapped in a bitter love for a woman he shouldn't think about all his life.His affection for Cui'e stems from three characters - "beauty", "jiao" and "righteousness".

There is no need to say the first word "beautiful". Guo Zixing's youngest daughter, Mei Ruo Tianxian, is said to be beautiful in the Haozhou area. When Lan Yu saw her for the first time, she was amazed. Like a hibiscus emerging from water, a woman who is too beautiful to be real.

But this kind of amazement is only fleeting. Lan Yu is not someone who has never seen the world. He is already quite handsome, and there are not a few women who take the initiative to show favor.No matter how beautiful some people are, it is enough to just look at them, especially if this person is the concubine of his master, it is even more impossible to have unreasonable thoughts in his heart.

The second word "Jiao" refers to Lan Yu's first love.In the 19th year from Yuan to Zhengzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang captured all parts of eastern Zhejiang one after another, and he and Chen Youliang became a state of separation between the east and the west.Since the two sides were evenly matched, everyone was in a wait-and-see attitude, so the war eased a little.

One afternoon, Sapphire had nothing to do, so she climbed a tree to take a rest.After a while, I heard two women talking under the tree.This gentleman on the beam is not a good behavior, but Lan Yu has just woken up from a light sleep, and she is too lazy to move, so she continues to lie on the big tree.

I don't want the conversation between these two women to be too private——

"Cui'e, did you pour out the medicine that Doctor Wang prescribed for you yesterday?"

"Sister, did you send someone to watch me?!"

After hearing this sentence, Sapphire already knew the identity of the person under the tree.

Ma Xiuying sighed, and said: "Cui'e, my sister did this out of necessity. You are married to Guorui and have nothing to do. It's not an option to procrastinate like this."

"..." Guo Cui'e was anxious and annoyed when she heard the words. She held back for a long time before she growled, "I'm not sick, sister, don't mess around!"

Ma Xiuying patted her younger sister on the shoulder, thinking she was an awkward child, and comforted her: "My sister didn't say you were sick, don't you have menstruation every month? But maybe your body is a little thinner, eat some There is no harm in conditioning with medicine."

"It's useless, no matter how much medicine you take!" Guo Cui'e hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My husband never had sex with me at all, how did you let me get pregnant?!"

"..." These words hit Ma Xiuying instantly like a hammer, and she couldn't speak anymore. After a long time, she murmured: "How could this happen?"

Her younger sister looks like a fairy, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Ma Xiuying's words were like a fuse, igniting the emotions of grievance, grief, anger, etc. that had been hidden in Guo Cuie's heart for a long time.Guo Cui'e burst into tears after "swipe".

When Ma Xiuying saw it, she also panicked, and hurriedly hugged her sister, comforting her: "Cui'e, don't cry, sister will think of a way."

However, at this moment, Guo Cui'e felt a little angry, she pushed her sister while crying and said, "Go back and leave me alone!"

The two sisters argued for a while, and Ma Xiuying finally compromised, agreeing to let the younger sister be alone for a while, but told her to come back obediently.

After Ma Xiuying left, Guo Cuie sat alone under the tree and cried.

Sapphire has one head and two big ones, he has listened to what he shouldn't have heard.But looking carefully at Guo Cui'e under the tree, he hadn't seen her in the past few years when he was fighting everywhere, and after becoming more mature, she became more and more beautiful, making people unable to take their eyes off her.Such a beauty is not an exaggeration for my husband to hang around every night, but... Zhu Yuanzhang has never touched her?It is simply unimaginable.

But these things have nothing to do with Lan Yu after all, he just wants to wait on the tree until Guo Cui'e leaves and come down.However, Guo Cui'e seemed to be deliberately against him, and the crying continued intermittently and endlessly. It was only at this moment that Lan Yu finally understood the meaning of the phrase "women are made of water".

Guessing that an hour is about to pass, Sapphire looked at the red sun heading west. He couldn't spend this day in the tree.Gritting her teeth, Sapphire finally made a leap and jumped down from the tree.

When Guo Cui'e saw a person jumping down from the tree, she immediately forgot to cry, looked at Lan Yu defensively, and said, "Who are you?"

Sapphire looked up, uh...it turned out that the beauty's eyes were swollen like peaches after crying for a long time, which was unsightly.

"Down with Sapphire."

"...I don't know." It can't be blamed on Guo Cui'e's ignorance. At that time, or more precisely, before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu was just an unknown person living in the shadow of Chang Yuchun.

"Why are you here? How long have you been here?" But ignorance did not prevent Guo Cui'e from asking questions, and her mind turned very fast, and she immediately asked two questions.

"By chance, I just came here."

It doesn't matter how Lan Yu answers the first question, but Guo Cui'e's ice and snow intelligence can see through the second question at a glance that it is pure nonsense.She was talking to her sister just now and didn't see anyone here. Just now she clearly saw that this person jumped from a tree. He could only arrive earlier than her, not later, right?

Guo Cui'e thought about it for a moment, then suddenly a fierce look appeared in her eyes, and she shouted: "I don't care who you are, how much you heard the conversation with my sister just now, if you dare to say a word, I will kill you!"

A weak woman with a pair of peach-like red eyes threatening a powerful man in the battlefield is simply too ridiculous.

However, the conversation between the two sisters just now made Lan Yu feel a little bit of sympathy for the woman in front of him, so he didn't say anything to tease Guo Cuie, but replied seriously with a suppressed smile: "Understood, I won't say it."

"Remember your words... I'm leaving." After receiving an affirmative answer, Guo Cui'e felt that this person knew her secret, so she felt a little shy, so she turned and ran away.

Looking at Guo Cui'e's skirt flying up behind her while running, Lan Yu suddenly felt that her peaceful heart also fluctuated slightly.Some people say that women are the most charming when they cry, Guo Cui'e who is crying is not more beautiful than her usual, but the "tenderness" among them is different.

And the third word "righteousness" was the moment when Lan Yu was completely trapped.

It was the first year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, because Ma Xiuying, Guo Cuie and other family members were still staying in the safe old stronghold of Haozhou City, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lan Yu to take several family members to Nanjing City.

At that time, although Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, the Yuan court still occupied most of the capital, and the soldiers and horses of both sides were still fighting fiercely.Therefore, the task of bringing the emperor's family from Haozhou to Nanjing is not difficult to say, but it is also quite dangerous if it is not easy.

Although the pick-up act was extremely secretive, some information was still leaked.When Nanjing was close at hand and passing through Chuzhou, an accident happened.
